RIM
RIM has created an always on email solution over a proprietary protocol that is handy for
executives and consultants who need access to email and query capability on corporate documents.
Good Technologies has made a Blackberry like product and both firms are morphing their products
to include more PDA and Cell phone features.

The Core Blackberry architecture is comprised of:
BlackBerry Web Client is an internet-based email interface that can retrieve email from up to 10 email accounts. The web client will redirect email wirelessly to your BlackBerry handheld so you can send, receive, forward and reply to messages while on the go. You can manage your email, including creating address book entries and filing messages, from any Internet-enabled PC with BlackBerry Web Client's easy-to-use interface, providing a familiar web based email experience. Each BlackBerry handheld also comes with an email address that acts as the default email address for the BlackBerry Web Client.
BlackBerry Enterprise Server
integrates with your corporate e-mail systems in a Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Domino environment. Contact your internal IT department to identify how to get the appropriate BlackBerry Enterprise Server implemented into your corporate environment.
BlackBerry Web Client and BlackBerry Enterprise Server
can function separately or together on a single handheld depending on your specific needs.

Latest Product Review of RIM:
The future of the BlackBerry may be in peril, but financial analysts aren't concerned about the company known for the wireless e-mail devices, Research In Motion. Financial analysts say that even though RIM has a lot at stake in its legal struggle with NTP over patents, RIM is in good shape because it has plenty of cash in the bank -- more than enough to make the patent infringement suit disappear.
